In the American rye whiskey landscape, there’s no name bigger than WhistlePig. The Vermont-based brand is known for its award-winning flagship expressions, annual Boss Hog release, and various limited-release expressions.

Few of its releases are as eagerly awaited as its limited-edition 10-year-old Piggybank Rye Whiskey. This year, the brand is introducing something genuinely spectacular. And we aren’t just talking about the whiskey inside the bottle (although that alone is worth the price of admission).

WhistlePig 10 PiggyBank Rye Gold Limited Edition

WhistlePig’s newest PiggyBank Rye is all about gold. Yes, we mean that literally. This golden nectar of the gods comes in the original Berkshire Bitter Pig replica, but there’s something unique about it. It’s coated in shiny, eye-catching gold. As a fun bonus, you don’t uncork this bottle the way you would a standard bottle. It’s corked in the pig’s rear end, and that’s where you pour this whiskey.

While the outside is memorable, the liquid inside is, too. It’s the brand’s award-winning small batch rye, matured for a full decade and bottled at a complex, potent 110-proof.

This annually released expression is known for its nose of wintry spice, cracked black pepper, and herbal backbone. The palate is a mix of candied orange peel, licorice, pipe tobacco, vanilla, herbal mint, and peppery rye. The finish is long and spicy and leaves you craving more.

In the hierarchy of American whiskey, there’s no pinnacle higher than Van Winkle. These highly coveted expressions are so highly regarded and released in such limited quantities that they end up being sold for ridiculous prices on the secondary market.

Recently, Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery and Buffalo Trace announced the return of the eagerly awaited Van Winkle Whiskey Collection. Known for its soft, wheated mash bill, the Van Winkle Collection consists of six highly collectible whiskeys.

If you're a fan of experimental, innovative, and creative single-barrel whiskeys, you'll be glad to hear about the re-release of Chattanooga Whiskey's popular Vault Series. This year's release is a take on a whiskey first launched in 2017 and was initially called Chattanooga Whiskey Batch 002: Smoked  High Malt.

This is a different version than the distillery dropped in 2017. That version was made only with cherry wood-smoked malted barley. This year, the brand isn't releasing one experimental whiskey but four. Each single-barrel whiskey was made with different hardwood-smoked malted barley, including mesquite, apple, and cherry wood smoke malts.

Tesla is more than just a car company making that wacky-looking truck you randomly see at your local grocery store. It also releases limited-edition alcohol expressions. The Elon Musk-owned company also makes mezcal. The newest release of the aptly named Tesla Mezcal is a collaboration between Tesla, Nosotros Mezcal, and the Flaviar brand Speakeasy Co.

Made with Espadín and Bicuishe agaves, it’s produed in the traditional Tahona-milled style using alembic distillation. The result (according to the brand) is a mezcal that begins with a nose of spices, citrus peels, and green apples. The palate is smoky, herbal, and memorable. The finish is filled with “tuberose, jasmine, and chamomile that soften into a balanced, velvety mouthfeel.”
